Aeromaterials have been prepared on the basis of sacrificial nano/microstructured templates. Nanofibrillated cellulose has been used as a sacrificial template for the preparation of inorganicnanotube networks, such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and aluminum

Surface functionalization of metal or metal-oxide surfaces has received considerable attention in recent years [1][2][3]. It presents an easy, accurate and precise approach for the fabrication of
the solution. Figure 3 shows the step-by-step purification procedure to recover the imogolite from the raw mineral.

As mentioned above, imogolite is a very useful inorganicnanotube. The
proposed as the inorganicnanotube to be hybridized with P3HT nanofibers. Reinforcement of P3HT nanofibers by imogolite is expected to impart additional mechanical and thermal stability to organic compounds, making the resulted hybrid material more durable under the outer environmental conditions
